This is especially annoying on very long PDF documents, since the memory leak gets worse the more pages through which you search.

Turns out the search code is not freeing a poppler "page" structure that is allocated for every page that is searched.

Patch to follow, which I have also submitted to upstream.

Patch to fix memory leak

As advertised, the patch for the leak.

Submitted to upstream via email since I could not seem to figure out how to post it to the trac bug.
